About

 

Me, July 13, 2011Hello, I’m John.  I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA.  I guess you could say that I am the artistic type, with a dash of technology.  I tend to write things and to take photographs.  Sometimes I paint or draw — or build stuff, like this website and its ancestors.

I have been online since 1994 or so.  I taught myself HTML and hand-coded my first online journal (this was before blogs) in 1997.  I’ve been fiddling around with websites and such, since then.  Some of my writing has been published: poems, science fiction and fantasy stories (I won an award in 1989 for one of those) and a bunch of dining and event reviews that I did when I was working for AOL/Digital City.  A photograph of mine was published in a book about the “strange but true” things in North Carolina.  That was fun.

I actually spend a fair amount of time thinking about life, science, art and what it means to be human.  Go figure.  I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years and work at Costco, in major sales.

Thank you for visiting with me.
